.... are entering an all male dominated area. Some areas are still restricted because of it. For example: serving in direct combat capacities such as armor, infantry, and special forces-branches from which much of the senior leadership is drawn. "In 1994, the annual Navywide Personnel Survey included questions on women's role for the first time. Some 65 percent of officers and almost 50 percent of enlisted respondents said they did not think women were fully accepted in combat roles. While approximately 80 percent said harassment was not tolerated at their command, almost half of all respondents disagreed that everyone is trea .....

.... for all became synonymous with the American way of life. Stand up and fight against those who have done you wrong! This is what gave homosexuals such a conviction to start fighting for their own cause. This paper will follow the progress of gay and lesbians in the twentieth century before, during and after World War II. What was their position in the armed forces during the war and what was government and military policy during and after the war on gays in the army and in government positions? How did gay and lesbians respond to the new policies after the war and why were organizations like the Mattachine Society and the Daughte .....

.... effective. Recently, we have tried to track the location of drug use. We find places where drugs tend to be, and seek to close them down as an effort to decrease the overall use of drugs. This has proved to be an ineffective technique because it does not change people's craving for drugs. Reasons leading up to drug use still exist. Arresting people for drugs does not kill their desire to use them. Closing down a crack house does not end the residents addiction, it just forces them to move. Reprimanding committed crimes does not eliminate the reason they were committed. Addressing drug offenses after they have been made is .....

.... funny, but they are also hurtful and degrading. Some of the biggest racists are those who think that they are not racist and really are. Why are these people some of the biggest racists? It is because they cannot comprehend what is happening and do not realize what they are saying is racist. Until they come to grips with this problem, in their minds, their is no problem. They say that they are not racist, even when they don’t hire the East Indian employee who was the most qualified of the candidates, even when the athletic team they coach consists of all white athletes. Oftentimes these people feel that just because a pers .....

.... one. Terrorists can be either rebels seeking to overthrow a state or states seeking to overthrow the international order or states seeking to maintain privilege for rulers and stifle dissent among the people. In every case the motivation for terrorism is explicitly without an exception, political. Terrorism has a long, if tainted,. pedigree. Aristotle recognized it, even if it had no name at the time, when he wrote that "the first aim and end of tyrants is to break the spirit of their subjects." What we know as terrorism can be traced to the Russian nihilists and anarchists of the 19th century, who gave a name to what would other .....

.... the American desire for freedom now when he says, "I do not need my freedom when I'm dead. I cannot live on tomorrow's bread." He recognizes the need for freedom in its entirety without compromise or fear. I think Langston Hughes captures the essence of the American immigrants' quest for freedom in his poem, "Freedom's Plow." He accurately describes American's as arriving with nothing but dreams and building America with the hopes of finding greater freedom or freedom for the first time. He depicts how people of all backgrounds worked together for one cause: freedom. I selected Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 as a fictitious .....

.... worry on the already large pile of worries parents have to deal with. “My kids are home-schooled,” complains mother Tiana Hutchinson, “I shouldn’t have to worry about them getting arrested every time I send them outside to play.” (“Do You Know Where Your Children Are?” 4). Parents aren’t the only ones upset with this problem-causing ordinance. In 1995, the American Civil Liberties Union, acting on behalf of thousands of law-abiding youth in California, filed suit in Federal District Court to challenge the state’s juvenile curfew ordinance (“ACLU Challenges California’s Curfew Law” 1). With all this diss .....

.... The English mass had the "traditional" European "angelica" type singing. The Spanish mass, however, had more upbeat music, along with the use of "traditionally" Carribean instruments like maracas, for example. What does this suggest about the religious community of Puerto Rican Americans? I think that it is a balance between assimilation and preserving the culture. I think it is obvious that Roman Catholicism was not the native religion of Borinquen. Borinquen was the name of the island Puerto Rico before the conquest of the Spanish. So since they had already been forced to assimilate their culture into European culture .....

.... Some activists groups intimidate or harass individual scientists, conduct demonstrations, or sometimes commit acts of vandalism. There are a few health professionals who support the activist movement but they truly stand apart from the vast majority of physians and most Americans who readily accept the fact that animal research is necessary to gain medical progress. The use of living animals remains a very important way to solve medical problems. Almost every medical achievement of the last century has depended either directly or indirectly on RESEARCH WITH ANIMALS. The knowledge gained from this research has extende .....

.... person does not agree, portrays a false atmosphere of society. When the Congress feels that people do not have the ability to form decisions for themselves, this is where the censorship begins. The issue of censorship is currently being debated concerning the violence on television programming. Censorship is defined as "the supervision and control of the information and ideas that are circulated among the people within a society.(Konvitz 1)" Censorship is a form of controlling the members of society. Government leaders and public officials, who believe that literary, artistic, or educational materials are not suitable for .....
